Thanks Dr Yasmin Ahmadzadeh - An excellent summary of why members of UCU are striking today.

Congrats @A_Packer on her first first-author publication! We found a #polygenic risk score for #CRP levels that explains nearly 10% of the variance. Little evidence though that genetic risk for higher CRP affects #cognition in older UK adults.

New research from my lab out today! #psychiatry #genetics #HERVs

Timothy Powell, The Nixon Lab and myself wrote a piece for the The Conversation to explain what our research on human endogenous retroviruses mean for Psychiatry (and also what it DOESN'T mean!) We hope you enjoy it! theconversation.com/depression-sch…

🚀Our article on HERVs and their link to psychiatric disorders just got republished by Scientific American! 🧬🧠 Dive into how ancient viruses in our DNA might affect mental health.

Hello from the @sgdpcentrekcl’s Anti-Racism Working Group! We’re taking over the PGC twitter to highlight some of the work we’ve been doing over the last few years!

The best part of my job is seeing ECRs succeed.. Congratulations @A_Packer on passing your PhD viva!!! You were fantastic. Lovely experience co-supervising with Danai Dima & Dr. Margherita Malanchini . Huge thanks to Professor Katie Lunnon and Gabriel R. Fries as examiners.

🔬🧠 Interested in a PhD combining #genetics and cellular #neuroscience? Curious about the mechanisms behind #brain #ageing? Join Sandrine Thuret and me for an exciting research opportunity! #PhDposition

Interested in inflammation, telomere attrition, or human endogenous retroviruses, and their links to psychiatry? Speak to the fantastic scientists in my team (Posters T77, T19, T28) at #WCPG2024 in Singapore today.

Congratulations to Rodrigo Duarte Rodrigo Duarte for winning the #WCPG2024 Gershon paper of the year award! For his paper with Timothy Powell on the role of HERVs in psychiatric disorders pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38778015/

What a journey...Congrats Rodrigo Duarte!!! Sadly, I'm British so I can't get too emotional publically. But it's been so rewarding to work with you on this exciting new field of research and I could not be prouder. 🏳️‍🌈🧬🧑‍🔬. Read our work here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38778015/

Great working with Inspire the Mind ✍🧠 on this piece about of my lab's research on #ancient #viral #DNA and its links to the brain: inspirethemind.org/post/unveiling…

More locus-specific #HERVs linked to brain-related traits—this time, neurodegenerative diseases like #MS and #ALS! 🧠 New connections between ancient viral DNA and modern health challenges. Summary here: kcl.ac.uk/news/ancient-v… Paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Timothy Powell

New research has revealed a link between ancient viral DNA in the human genome and the genetic risk for multiple sclerosis #MS and motor neurone disease #MND The study was led by Dr Rodrigo Duarte and Dr Timothy Powell, published in BrainBehavImm maudsleybrc.nihr.ac.uk/posts/2024/oct…

Does leftover DNA from ancient viral infections continue to impact our health today? Timothy Powell and Rodrigo Duarte SGDP Centre KCL are investigating how the expression of human endogenous retroviruses could be linked to neurodegenerative disease risk. bit.ly/4iJCsvL
